First day in August |
|
Last rain was in May |
|
When the rainmaker came to Kansas |
|
In the middle of a dusty day |
|
The rainmaker said to the people |
|
"Tell me what you are prepared to pay" |
|
The rainmaker said to the people |
|
"Well, I'll conjure up a rain today" |
|
Ninety degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady |
|
Hundred and ten in the hot sun |
|
Heat from the street burned the feet of the ladies |
|
See how they run |
|
Called down the lightnin' by a mystical name |
|
Then the rainmaker called on the thunder |
|
And suddenly it began to rain |
|
Then the rainmaker passed his hat to the people |
|
But the people all turned away |
|
Then the rainmaker's eyes |
|
And the Kansas skies |
|
Both became a darker gray |
|
First day in August last rain was in May |
|
When the rainmaker came to Kansas |
|
In the middle of a dusty day |
|
The rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon |
|
And without a word he rode way |
|
Then the people of the town heard |
|
The sound of his laughter |
|
And they knew the rain had come to stay |
|
Rain rain go away |
|
Come again another day |
|
Rain rain go away |
|
Come again another day |
|
Rain |
|
Rain |
|
Rain |
|
Raaaiiinnn |
|
Raaaiiinnn |
|
Raaaiiinnn |
